Joe Rogan stunned by US Homeland Security Advisor’s prediction on AI-powered jets in future wars

Joe Rogan was left in awe during a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, as billionaire venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, a White House Homeland Security Advisor, revealed chilling insights into the future of warfare. 

Andreessen explained that AI-powered fighter jets capable of reaching Mach 5 speeds are poised to transform combat in the coming years, dramatically changing the nature of warfare.

During their discussion, Andreessen stated, "Imagine a thousand of these things coming over the horizon right at you. It really changes the fundamental equation of war." 

His prediction points to a world where the traditional dominance of manpower and material in wars is replaced by the power of technology and finances. In this new era, it will be the nations with the most advanced technology and the biggest budgets who will come out on top.

The conversation took a more intense turn as Andreessen emphasized the advantages of AI-piloted fighter jets. 

"Part of it is simply the speed of processing," Andreessen noted. "But the other big thing is, if you don't have a human in the plane, you don't have [...] 'the Spam in the Can.'" He elaborated on how eliminating the need for a human pilot allows for greater maneuverability and higher speeds, as AI can withstand intense G-forces that would incapacitate a human pilot.

Rogan, visibly stunned, acknowledged the terrifying implications of such a future. He pointed out that AI-controlled fighter jets have already proven their superiority in simulated combat, where AI outperformed human pilots in dogfights. 

"The AI-controlled jets won 100 percent of the time," Rogan said, referencing a 2020 simulation where an AI fighter shot down a U.S. Air Force F16 in every engagement.

Andreessen went on to outline how these AI drones will be able to perform breakneck aerial maneuvers that no human could survive. "These nimble, smaller, fully automated fighter jets will be capable of performing maneuvers that would crush human pilots under the G-forces," he said.

The discussion took an even darker turn when Rogan pointed out the absence of a human element in AI-piloted jets, making them impervious to the unpredictability of human emotion. "There's no option for someone to go crazy [...] There's no human element," Rogan remarked, to which Andreessen agreed, noting that AI’s strictly logical approach would make it a more desirable asset in military operations.

Andreessen also shared his belief that AI-driven warfare will result in a recalibration of global power dynamics. 

"In the past, the people who won wars were the people who had the most men and the most material," he explained. "In this drone world, it's going to be the people with the most money and the best technology." 

He gave the example of small, technologically advanced nations like Singapore, which could punch "way above their weight" using AI-driven military technology.

The discussion also echoes remarks from Elon Musk, who recently commented on the inefficiency of crewed fighter jets. 

Musk tweeted, "Crewed fighter jets are an inefficient way to extend the range of missiles or drop bombs. A reusable drone can do so without all the overhead of a human pilot." This vision is being realized by aerospace companies like Boeing, which is developing the Ghost Bat AI drone. 

This fleet of unmanned fighter jets could soon become a fixture in military operations, providing the U.S. and its allies with a technological edge.

As the conversation unfolded, it became clear that we are on the precipice of a new age in warfare, one where AI will not only play a critical role but could potentially redefine the future of global conflict. 

The implications for national security and international relations are profound, as nations and corporations vie for dominance in this rapidly evolving technological arms race.
